Don’t Bump The Trump

A warning for those who chance to meet a wild Trump coming home late at night, past a graveyard, all alone in a storm: Don’t bump the Trump. [With apologies to Shel Silverstein.]

It’s game on. Self-professed billionaire Donald Trump earlier snatched the campaign torch from the Republican Party by drawing in conservative America’s low-hanging fruit. Full disclosure: it’s something I proclaimed over a year ago could not be done. I was wrong! How wrong? Very, very wrong. I completely forgot to take into account Donald Trump’s amazing ability to juggle facts:

Presumptive Republican presidential Donald Trump keeps selling the myth that he was against Iraq War even before the war started.

In a policy speech June 22, 2016, in New York, Trump tried to contrast himself with his likely fall opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton.

“In short, Hillary Clinton’s tryout for the presidency has produced one deadly foreign policy disaster after another,” Trump said. “It all started with her bad judgment in supporting the War in Iraq in the first place.

“Though I was not in government service, I was among the earliest to criticize the rush to war, and yes, even before the war ever started,” Trump said.

Whoa! Trump opposed the Iraq war from the very beginning? Really?

Those images are from a Howard Stern interview prior to the Iraq War. Mr. Trump, the truth really is what you make it. Keep the circus rolling. Hopefully you are having a lot of fun, because we are.

Yeah, it’s game on. We are going to have more fun between now and November. We can be assured Donald Trump will continue to fail to disappoint us.
